Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 639 (Fires Out of Control)

They had to start all over again-

Thanks to the big fire and wind.

.

It started in the forest and then it spread-

No one could have know what was up ahead.

.

The brave firefighters and the volunteers worked

so hard-

Trying to put out that fire, trying to stay on guard.

.

For weeks the fire raged, and did not stall-

Taking down complete homes and the trees

that were so tall.

.

Mother Nature had dealt a bad hand-

Striking much and many all throughout

the land.

.

And, then came the day when it was finally

put out-

With tired working souls, and many homeless

without a doubt.

.

They had to start all over again-

Thanks to the big fire and wind.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 670 (They Served Their Country Well)

We don’t know them all by name-
But, they fought for us, all the same.
.
They all served their country well-
With many a story to describe, with
many a tale to tell.
.
Both living and dead, we honor them all-
Those who are with us, those who took that
fall.
.
For without these special people in the world-
The rest of us would be left in a swirl.
.
We take for granted the way that we live-
But, it could not be, without our veterans
who gave and continue to give.
.
Appreciate an American veteran whenever
you can-
Give them thanks, give them a hand.
.
We don’t know them all by name-
But, they fought for us, all the same.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 185 (Seatbelts For All)

There are those brave men of blue-
Who have their duties and follow
through.

They give tickets when a driver has sped-
They also give tickets when folks
do not stop at lights that are red.

Weaving in and out is something
else they do check out-
For a possible DWI it can be, no doubt.

Outdated stickers is something else that
is on hand-
And everyone who should be wearing
their seat belts throughout the land.

There are those brave men of blue-
Who have their duty to wear their
seatbelts too.
